Getting busy
I really need to start making robots so they can't do these kind of tasks for me and make guest appearances.

Soyeon and Art Part 2
In reference to:

soyeon 04:18 : Paul, I'm not being closed mind at all. I didn't say that pic was made by men. I think you are inconsiderated what art is about. or you don't care.



Who are you decide that I am inconsiderate about what art is or that I don't care? You barely know me, which has suddenly become all the more apparent. I do care very much what my art is about but I am not interested in making judgements on what other people should and not consider art. Especially, if I do not know the surrounding context behind the work.

It is not as though art is a dwindling natural resource that we may use up on the "bad stuff." Especially, when we are talking about digital artwork which operates on a nearly infinite canvas.

This argument is akin to arguing what religion is the "true" religion at the expense of excluding all others. I would rather spend my time thinking about what my art means to me and the people it affects.

Where the site is seen
I am really interested in what the site looks like physically, within the confines that people view it at. Those of you that have cameras, can you all post pictures of where you view the site. I think it would be cool to see everyone else's view of the site. I will make it into a gallery.

Here is my pic in the kitchen looking at the iste while cooking.

Jesse Fabian
Wow, jesse had the internet before I had a computer. I am really jealous of him sometimes. I don't have anything left from my pre-digital existence and he has a digital existence before mine .

Soyeon and Art
Soyeon, I agree with (e:ajay) [inlink]ajay,280[/inlink]

Stop being so closed minded. I can't believe you are automically ascribing your value system on that artwork without having any information about the work. I realize that (GOOGLE - body sushi) body sushi is is degrading toward woman. But we have no indication that this is from a body sushi restaurant and not female performance artist commenting on the fetishizing of asian woman and food in body sushi. Notice the way she is sitting up slightly and eating it off of herself. That is very different than other pictures of body sushi, where the woman is portrayed like a silent corpse.

Why do you reduce her performance to the metaphorical simple chemical when you have no idea about the possible complexity of the work. Why do you try and pretend to be some sort of art authority? Nobody is. It is exactly that type of snobbery that makes people hate art.

[size=m]Most importantly, why do you assume that artwork was made by a man?[/size]
